Raina worked with us to book the memorial and obtaining the necessary permits, etc. She was terrific to work with and made it very easy for us. During the scattering Captain Joe and Erica took care of all of our needs and made the trip very enjoyable. The trip from the Santa Cruz harbor to Capitola was very smooth. Erica was the perfect "hostess" and served beverages and assisted with the ash scattering. None of our party had participated in an ash scattering before and Erica helped make it a memorable event. I highly recommend using Sea Spirit Memorial to scattering the ashes of a loved one in their final resting place.

Several years ago when my husband was put in a care facility, they wanted to know who to call when…read morehe passed. I was looking at mortuaries, alone with an unfamiliar duty in an unfamiliar location. I finally turned to Yelp to see what was posted about mortuaries I'd looked at when David from Honor Cremations popped up to say he thought he could help me. I truly felt an instant feeling of safety and trust. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get guidance. David is kind, sympathetic and morale. I spent the next several years feeling secure for when the time came. One of the few things I was able to feel secure about. When my husband did pass in the middle of the night in the veteran hospital hospice, they knew to call Honor. Because it might take time for Honor to arrive, the hospital wanted to take my husband to their mortuary and I refused saying we would wait for Honor. I trusted them and knew he'd be in good hands and those feelings were right. The gentleman who arrived to take my husband helped the nurse prepare him so when he came out of the room he was draped in the American flag. With everything else my husband and I went through with the change in care facilities, finances, and just 'handling it all' as my husband's condition worsened over the years, David's honesty and compassion took this step off my shoulders. I have purchased Honor Cremation for myself, so our children have the confidence to know everything will be taken care of. Thank you David and Honor Cremations. When so many unexpected doors closed with years-long tragedy, you offered a safe open door.

The price was incredible low compared to many other places and the company was well known among hospital and hospice staff.

I am very satisfied with them and very thankful for how they cared for us. They were also very responsive and efficient every time I called for quotes or with questions.

After dealing with Oak Hill Funeral Home in San Jose for over a month and receiving absolutely no response regarding the status of my brother's cremation, I reached out to Santa Cruz Watsonville Cremation to have my brother transferred. Megan sprang into action, providing us not only with comfort but also with exemplary service. I immediately felt heard and knew we were in good hands. Megan was truly a godsend, keeping us updated every step of the way. She is the perfect example of how families should be treated during times like this. I will forever be grateful to Megan and your entire establishment for everything you have done. It will be my mission to spread the word about your services. Megan has definitely gone above and beyond. What a gift it is to have such a kind, caring, and competent person working for you. Keep her happy; you don't want to lose her!

They helped me to get a very nice headstone and the wording about my sister and an inscribed thank you to St Joseph was just as requested. The one problem that we had with the burial is that the cemetery is a little hard to find, so that many of the people who attended the Mass couldn't find it. On the positive side it means that the cemetery exists in a low profile with its neighbors and maybe that is as it should be. When I go to visit my sister's gravesite the grounds are always in great shape. Thank you Holy Cross Cemetery Jay Poindexter
